DRIVE CHAIN SLACK
Checking the drive chain slack
EWA13120
Securely support the vehicle so that there is
no danger of it falling over.
ECA13550
A drive chain that is too tight will overload
the engine and other vital parts, and one that
is too loose can skip and damage the swing-
arm or cause an accident. Therefore, keep
the drive chain slack within the specified lim-
its.
1. Shift the transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.
2. Check:
• Drive chain slack
Out of specification → Adjust.
• Measure the distance “a” between the rib end
on the drive chain guide “1” and the center
point of the drive chain “2”.
• The center point “b” of the drive chain is ap-
prox. 32 mm (1.26 in) “c” forward from the edge
“d” of the drive chain guide.
NOTICE
ECA20870
Improper drive chain slack will overload the
engine as well as other vital parts of the mo-
torcycle and can lead to chain slippage or
breakage. If the drive chain slack is more
than the specified limit, the chain can dam-
age the frame, swingarm, and other parts. To
prevent this from occurring, keep the drive
chain slack within the specified limits.
